Default Aftermarket Radio Harness?

Are there any aftermarket harnesses that plug in to the factory connectors? (Besides beatsonic) I don't care if the OEM sub works or not, I just need some connectors that fit the factory plugs.

I have 98 Premium (non-nak, non-nav) sound. I bought the Metra 70-1761 and it doesn't fit the factory plugs

you have to wire it to the factory amp, i ran into the same issue. I was able to scrounge up a wiring diagram and see what wires went where. You use all the wires from the green connector at the factory amp. I use a test light to find the hot and ign wire behind the dash. There was a thread on here that i found displaying the wiring at the amp plug for the speakers but i can't seem to find it now nor could i when i had my dash apart. Try searching for it eventually you'll come across it.

Thanks but that still doesn't answer my question. I'm looking for a female stock harness connector.

There isn't one. If you read the whole post including the two he quoted. You will find the information you need to complete your install. Good luck.

there is no plug adapter for the your/our particular radio harness. You HAVE to wire it directly to the plug at the amp for the speaker output. Three of the wires from the factory radio harness are used for power ground and switched.

By wiring it at the plug do you mean the pre-amp plug (speakers going to amp) or post-amp plug (wires going to radio from amp)?
